New York Comic Con: Hunks, Heroes, Homo Superior And More (PHOTOS)

Every October, sci-fi and fantasy fans descend on the New York Comic Con to find out what’s coming next in comic books, video games, action movies and TV shows, toys and more. They attend panels, pick up merch, catch movie screenings and meet celebrities.

The convention’s LGBT contingent has grown over the years, with booths run by Prism Comics and Geeks Out drawing queer and straight fans alike.

One of the best parts of the con is all the cosplay, as thousands of men and women drag themselves up as their favorite characters.
